>Description:
Problems when installing 5.0 SNAPSHOT-20021119 over FTP.
After inserting network settings the nslookup fails for any server.
Restarting the sysinstall (Ctrl-C -> restart) at this point
and re-entering all the data resolves the nslookup thing but
Then after retrieving the first chunk, a write error, filesystem
full error is given.
The sysinstall restart seems to fix the nslookup but does seem to break
other things (dosen't the filesystem get mounted properly anymore?)
A roundabout to the problem is to specify the ftp as an IP for the first
time, if the sysinstall is not restarted, the filesystem error problem
does not occur.

Sorry if this is duplicate but could not find it from gnats and the
google story was for 4.6.2 problem
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Boot from floppies
2. Standard installation
3. Select FTP as medium
4. Enter network data (including dns)
5. Try to install from any ftp
nslookup for the site should hang
6. Press CTRL-C and select Restart
7. repeat steps 2-5
nslookup should not fail this time and the installation
should continue to download packets but after the first
chunk is received an write error is reported that filesystem
is full.
>Fix:
No idea, roundabout -> specify FTP from URL and enter address
as IP number, DO NOT RESTART the sysinstall from CTRL-C
